Gone Girl

Not your usual spine-tingling, edge of the seat sort of read but I did find myself looking forward to being alone so I could plug in and hear the next part. Well told story that dips a little two thirds through but has enough mystery and intrigue to carry you through to the end.

Gillian Flynn has written an intelligent, interesting thriller that throws many red herrings into the mix. Nick Dunn comes home from work one day to find his house in disaray and his beautiful wife, Amy, missing. Where can she be? It is a hard book to review because I don't want to reveal anything and thus spoil the story. Just when the reader thinks he has got the story sussed out, Flynn comes up with another jaw-dropping surprise. The fact that there is a male and female narrater makes for a really dramatic performance. The reason I have given it four stars instead of five is that, once all the loose end had been tied up, I rather lost interest. It goes on just a little too long. Nevertheless, I would recommend spending £14.95 on this drama, it is well worth it.

It's long. Editor needed badly. However once it got going (apart part 1) it became very interesting. A few chuckles and a few shake of the heads.
